National Basketball Association (NBA)’s Post

☀️ NBA coach Steve Kerr is all about fundamentals and "playing right". In other words, process. He emphasizes process over results, because he knows that it's not whether you win or lose each game, but what you become. ☀️The same is true for writing a book. It's about creative collaboration and process. Whether you are writing or consulting with a developmental editor or designer, you'll focus on what each expert brings to the table and how each contributor elevates your "game". #books #authors #publishingservices

With the NBA season now in play so is the first NBA blog post in my new Sportsblog.

The NBA In-Season Tournament: Format and Impact. The National Basketball Association (NBA) In-Season Tournament, also known as the NBA Cup, was introduced in the 2023–24 season of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Announced on July 8, 2023, on ESPN's NBA Today, this tournament is part of the regular season. It features a multi-stage format starting with group play and culminating in single-elimination knockout rounds. There are three groups of five teams in each conference, making a total of six groups. Teams play four regular season games (two at home and two on the road) that count towards their group stage standings. Group winners and one wild card second-place team from each conference advance to the knockout rounds, with the final two rounds at a neutral site. The victorious team wins the NBA Cup, and each player on the winning team receives $500,000. The Los Angeles Lakers were the first winners of the tournament, and LeBron James was the first In-Season Tournament MVP. #basketball #sportslaw #sportsbusiness

The recent National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals were marred by several issues, including questionable officiating, a seemingly forced narrative, poor fan behavior, and a lack of accountability. The Eastern Conference's performance suffered due to injuries and weak conditioning to mainly ALL key players. If the NBA does not address these problems, it risks losing its core audience. With the current saturation of streaming services, user retention will be a significant challenge. This environment has contributed to the growth of ancillary industries like gambling and reselling. The viewership was lower than usual and overall growth is stagnant: “The Celtics-Mavericks series is entering Game 5 tonight with viewership down 2% compared to last year's Nuggets-Heat NBA Finals, which concluded in five games. While ABC's viewership was steady after three games, the Mavericks' decisive 122-84 win in Game 4 reduced the audience to 9.62 million. This is the lowest viewership for a non-pandemic Game 4 on record, with the previous low being 9.67 million for Spurs-Nets Game 4 in 2003. The ‘20 pandemic-affected Game 4 of drew 7.54 million viewers.” - SBJ (Sports Business Journal) https://lnkd.in/gy4puT4W Sincerely, A concerned basketball fan. #data #datamanagement #analytics
